What can we do about a team leader at work who has an offending tattoo?

My work just hired a new team leader that has a swastika tattoo on his hand. This is very offending to Jewish and/or black people. I approached human resources about this. They said they would have him cover it up (with a band aid). But now everyone knows it's there. I talked with another team leader about it. He asked this person "why" he has that. His response was "he had some good points". I know me and several people do not want him as our authority figure. He has no empathy about this tattoo.
